DNC chair says majority of delegates have voted to give Harris the Democratic nomination
SUMMARY
Vice President Kamala Harris has garnered enough delegate votes to secure the Democratic presidential nomination, Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison announced on Friday. While the official results won't be confirmed until Monday evening when virtual voting concludes, Harris’ campaign confirmed she has surpassed the 2,350 delegate votes required. Democratic delegates are participating in a pre-convention virtual vote to finalize the nomination before an Ohio ballot access deadline, set before the convention begins in Chicago on August 19th. Harris is running unopposed after President Joe Biden withdrew from the race and endorsed her. The official nomination will be confirmed at the convention with a ceremonial roll vote.
